Author's Note: Due to the fact that there's no way to tell what will happen in Phantom Hourglass before it's released, I'll just pretend that it didn't happen and Link and Tetra found absolutely nothing on their journey around the Great Sea.

Chapter 2: Wow! The World is Round!

Meanwhile, near the edge of the Great Sea, two ships pulled up to the Eastern Horizon. One was a large pirate ship, while the other was a smaller vessel known as The King of Red Lions. On the pirate ship, one of the pirates stared closely at the island they had just passed.

"You know, that island looked a bit familiar. Hey! Miss Tetra!" the pirate announced.

"What is it, Gonzo?" the pirate captain, Tetra, said.

"That island we just passed. It kinda looks like that one island…" Gonzo said.

"Cliff Plateau Isles?" A voice called over to Gonzo.

"Yeah! That's it… wait, who said that?"

"Me, Link," The voice called from the smaller ship.

"Link's… talking… AAAHHHH! Run for your lives! It's the Apocalypse! " All of the pirates except for Tetra ran aimlessly in circles for a few seconds before jumping below decks and boarding up and locking the door.

"Well. That was strange," Tetra said "Come out, you big babies."

"Sure, Miss. Hey! Where's the key!" a pirate said.

"Um… I ate it. I didn't want Link and his new ability to talk to get down here," another pirate replied.

"You idiot! Now we're stuck down here!"

"Hey, look on the bright side. I brought Monopoly: Great Sea Edition. We can… Hey, why are you holding the board like that! Don't come any closer! Not the face! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Idiots," Tetra muttered to herself.

Suddenly, from Forest Haven in the west, another pair of ships appeared. As they moved closer, Link and Tetra could see that these ships were… the exact same two ships that they were currently on? Suddenly, both of the clone ships started firing their cannons at the originals.

"Looks like we've got a fight on our hands, at just the time when my entire crew locked themselves below decks. Just wonderful! Link, it looks like we're alone on this one."

"I've faced worse odds," Link replied. The two ships sailed up to their clones with cannons blazing.

A cannon ball hit the smaller enemy ship, and Link could swear that a version of himself from the age he was during his previous adventure jumped onto the other enemy ship.

"They're coming closer!" Tetra announced "They're trying to board."

The enemy pirate ship pulled up to the opposite side of Tetra's pirate ship and Tetra saw one of the strangest things she ever had seen: Their enemies were younger versions of herself, her crew, and Link. Just as the original Link jumped onto her pirate ship to aid her, the unknown enemies jumped onto the other side to fight them.

"I'll take myself, you take yourself," Tetra said. Link nodded and the two of them began fighting the attackers.

When the Link clone charged at the original Link, the original Link pulled off a Parry Attack to take out his clone. When his clone was hit, it fell to the floor and… broke? Link walked up to his slain clone and noticed something even stranger than that he fought himself… he had fought a figurine of himself.

"Hey! Look at this!" Link turned around and saw that Tetra had realized the same thing when she beat herself.

Suddenly, the figurine versions of the rest of Tetra's crew swung over. Unlike Link and Tetra, who had improved in skill by getting older, Tetra's pirates had gotten weaker over the last five years, so fighting the pirates at their prime was harder than the usual sparring matches that were sometimes done to pass the time in the long voyage. Regardless of this, the deck of Tetra's pirate ship was soon covered with broken figurines.

"Looks like we've won," Link said as he pulled his sword out of the last pirate figurine.

"But what exactly was going on there…" Tetra answered.

Meanwhile, in the Nintendo Gallery, Carlov called over to Manny.

"Throw away the box of anchovy and olive pizza that I left in THE SECRET ROOM OF PURE EVIL, then tell me how my plan has been going."

"Certainly, Master," Manny answered. He threw away the pizza and then walked over to Carlov.

"Well, our dispatches to Bomb Island and the Boating Course were successful. What should we do with the prisoners we found there, Master?" Manny waited for Carlov's reply.

"Throw them in the dungeon I had you set up in the Deku Tree's old room. And what of the other two groups?"

"Well, the Ice Ring Isle group wasn't properly equipped with fire arrows and had to retreat and we lost contact with the Cliff Plateau Isles group a few minutes ago,"

"Curses! Re-send a group to Ice Ring, and this time make sure you send a Link with them. And send a scouting party to Cliff Plateau to see what happened. While you're at it, have some people take the next islands on the list. I have something else to tend to," Carlov went into the secret room and closed the door behind him.

"Yes, master," Manny left the Nintendo Gallery to carry out his master's orders.

Meanwhile, in the Deku Tree room, two Mighty Darknut prison guards threw Old Man Ho Ho, who had been staring at the submarine near Bomb Island, into the room. All of the entrances except for the main one, which was blocked by the heavily guarded prison door, and the ceiling had been covered up, and the Baba Buds had been destroyed to prevent any escape.

"Ho! Ho! This is unfair! I'm an old man!" Old Man Ho Ho said.

Around the room, there were four others: The Traveling Merchant from Bomb Island, Loot the Sailor from the Boating Course, a Bokoblin from the raft near the Bomb Island submarine, and a Seahat from the Boating Course area. The merchant pulled a Harmonica out of his pack, which for some reason wasn't confiscated, and began playing it. Old Man Ho Ho began looking around for something interesting to look at.

"There's one thing I don't get," Loot said to the Bokoblin.

"What?" The Bokoblin replied.

"If that Seahat can fly, why doesn't he just fly us all out of here."

"First off, I'm a girl, you Chauvinist Pig. And secondly I don't fly, I levitate," the Seahat began chasing Loot around the room.

"I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry!" Loot shouted.

"I should've warned you! She's my ex-girlfriend," The Bokoblin called out.

"Why did you two break up?" Loot called back, still running.

"I wasn't very popular with her family…" the Bokoblin had a flashback of him paddling his raft as fast as he could, being chased by somewhere between ten and twenty Seahats.

The Seahat stopped moving and faced the Bokoblin.

"Bokoblin #12?"

"Seahat #47!"

"Who's Seahat #47!" The Seahat began chasing the Bokoblin around the room.

"AAAHHH!" The Bokoblin shouted as he was chased.

"What was that all about?" Loot asked Old Man Ho Ho.

"I have no idea," the old man replied.

The traveling merchant continued to play his harmonica as the events unfolded.
